Latex paints are water-based coatings that use synthetic rubber (latex) as a binder. They form a flexible and durable layer that resists moisture and stains, making them an excellent choice for walls, ceilings, and other interior surfaces. These paints are easy to apply, dry quickly, and have a low odor, ensuring a comfortable indoor painting experience. Additionally, latex paints create a smooth, long-lasting finish that can withstand washing and stain removal, which is particularly beneficial for residential spaces.
